I beg to differ here. It was a bit weird, but definitely not broken.
Since VIR_HOST_PM_S3 etc were linear (0,1,2), a bit-wise OR operation
was carried out like this: *bitmask |= 1U << feature; where feature
was one of the above.
And while checking this, we used to do:
hostPMFeatures & VIR_NODE_SUSPEND_TARGET_HYBRID
where VIR_NODE_SUSPEND_TARGET_HYBRID etc were like 1 << 0, 1 << 1 etc
Thus, this was ugly, but not broken. Otherwise, it would have surely
failed my suspend tests which I ran every time before submitting the
patches :-)
